I got to visit the lovely city of Cologne last week.

Sadly, I didn’t have time to visit the ever impressive cathedral or enjoy a glass of Kölsch as I had work to do.

That work involved talking to lots of interesting new candidates at the Master and More Fair in Cologne. I had a great day chatting about all IE things with lots of very eager recent graduates. I also had a very spirited panel discussion about the International MBA and how it can help you attain that dream job. I’m not quite sure how I found the time but I also managed to squeeze in a presentation where I had the opportunity to speak about all of IE’s great programs and the beautiful city of Madrid. Phew, I’m tired just typing that so you can imagine how I felt by the end of the day.

I have to cut this post short as I’m about to jump on a train to Hannover for another Master and More Fair.

It would be great if you found the time to come and say hello tomorrow (May 14^th) and I could help answer any IE related questions you might have.

If you can’t make it to Hannover we will also be at the Master and More in Leipzig this Thursday 16^th May.

We hope to see you there!

We are currently organizing a Master Class ´Building Successful Brands´ with Dean of Programs and Marketing Professor Martin Boehm on Thursday, 23rd May, in the Intercontinental Paris le Grand hotel.

In a highly competitive and saturated market environment, building strong brands has become an imperative need. The best way to hold customers and attract new ones is to ensure you have a unique value proposition that is both rationally and emotionally different. This talk is designed to actively engage you in understanding the strategic role that brands play in driving business growth and profitability and why they have become key assets in organizations. We will further address how to build a meaningful, differentiated brand as well as how to fully deliver a brand experience capable of driving revenue and profit growth.

Professor Martin Boehm has spent the last decade researching and consulting in the area of customer management which has had a profound effect on his thinking as a marketing professor at IE Business School. He believes that his work on customer relationship management has broad implications for the corporate world.

The event will be attended by our IE Alumni, potential future students and also Ms. Camila Uribe, the Director of Europe & CIS. For further information please email sarah.ballaud@ie.edu. To register for this event or for any of our other events in Paris, please go to http://events.ie.edu.
